About Scarlett

With over 2 years of experience as a chess tutor, I help students develop confidence and clarity on the board. I specialize in training learners to handle real-game situations with strategy and poise. Whether you’re responding to an aggressive opening or planning a late-game push, I guide you through decision-making with practical tools. My academic background includes extensive studies in logic and pattern recognition, which shape my teaching method. I emphasize opening preparation, time management, and critical thinking under pressure. Through scenario-based training, we work on common game types, tournament etiquette, and opponent behavior. I use mock matches and game simulations to improve performance and adaptability. Students learn how to recognize tactics like forks, pins, and discovered attacks in live play. I support each learner in building long-term strategy—not just winning fast. You’ll leave each session feeling clearer and more prepared. I’ve worked with casual learners, scholastic players, and early-stage competitors. If you’re ready to enjoy chess while improving your game, I’d love to help you reach the next level.

My teaching approach to chess is rooted in building a strong foundation first, then expanding into advanced thinking. We start with core principles like piece development, controlling the center, and basic tactics. I use real game examples and puzzle-solving to sharpen pattern recognition. For intermediate players, we explore strategy, positional evaluation, and endgame technique.

Lessons are adapted to your pace and style—some students learn best through analysis, others through fast play. I incorporate timed practice, scenario reviews, and self-reflection to promote decision-making. We’ll study your games together to understand your strengths and identify areas to grow. My sessions are a mix of instruction, discussion, and hands-on play.

For competitive players, I introduce opening preparation, tournament mindset, and psychological focus. I use annotated games and themed sparring exercises to train efficiently. Every move you make becomes part of your long-term improvement. I support each student with patience and challenge them with purpose.
